Mira is a professional, if nothing else. A publicist in LA that keeps focused on work. She gets shit done and she takes care of those around her. It's who she is. So when her sister, Kamora, loses her husband and is suddenly a single mother of two, Mira packs up her life and moves to Dallas. She'll be there for her sister and her niece and nephew because it's the responsible thing to do. What Mira doesn't expect is to find herself drawn to her charming new client, Paige Bueckers. Mira quickly learns that Paige isn't only smooth on the court, and even though it's the absolute last thing she needs right now, Mira can't seem to get the woman out of her head. And Paige doesn't seem inclined to let her. Ever the professional, Mira tries to keep this very unprofessional situation under control, but as is a theme in her life lately, things don't seem to be going according to plan.

But what happens when your world finally destructs and you're standing in the middle of it? When the calm you built becomes smoke in your lungs, and the person holding the match is the only one you ever let close enough to strike it. Paige Bueckers was supposed to be steady. Light. The thing that quieted the noise. Instead, she became the noise-louder, sharper, impossible to ignore. Now every glance feels like a challenge. Every word, a blade. The distance between them hums like static-too charged, too fragile, too dangerous to touch. And yet neither of them can look away. Because love like this doesn't fade. It festers. It rewrites you. It dares you to walk through the fire just to prove you can. Lorelei's always been good at pretending she's unshakable. But Paige knows better. She always has.

Jackie de Valois didn't ask to leave France. She didn't ask to move to a strange neighborhood in Minnesota, or to start third grade in a language she barely knows. She definitely didn't ask to feel invisible in a house full of loud, brilliant siblings. Then she meets Paige Bueckers-her tiny, talkative neighbor with a basketball in one hand and a whole lot of confidence in the other. Paige doesn't care that Jackie mixes up English words or that she likes hockey better than dolls. Paige just shows up-sleepovers, school days, and all the little moments in between. Together, they take on, high school, college, the spotlight, and the wild, beautiful love story they created.

In the blistering heat of a Texas summer and the ever-demanding grind of pro sports, two worlds collide under the bright stadium lights - one of polished court dominance, the other of glittering performance perfection. Paige Bueckers, the golden girl of professional basketball, is used to pressure. She thrives in it. As the newly minted star of the Dallas Wings, she's expected to carry the franchise on her shoulders - all eyes watching, all bets placed. But off the court, Paige is more than just a sharpshooter. She's quietly lonely, privately soft, and increasingly distracted by the woman who dances at halftime with effortless grace and a smile that makes her forget the score. Shayne Miller, a third year Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, knows how to keep things presentable. Always polished, always poised - it's what Judy demands, and it's what Shayne's learned to survive on. There's no room for messy feelings, no space for slip-ups or scandal. Fraternizing with players is off-limits. And catching feelings for a WNBA star with sky-blue eyes and a crooked little grin? Completely out of the question. Until it's not. A chance encounter at a joint team event - a stumble, a waist grab, and one blush too deep - sets everything into motion. What starts as a harmless DM from Paige asking for a "bar recommendation" quickly spirals into late-night texts, rooftop meetups, and an undeniable tension neither of them can laugh off anymore. Paige, the lovesick basketball player who doesn't know how to play it cool, and Shayne, the random girl from the south who happened to play a Dallas sport with walls too high and a heart too guarded, find themselves caught between the spotlight and the quiet pull of something real. But under the weight of public image, personal boundaries, and unspoken rules, falling in love isn't just risky - it's damn near dangerous. Especially when the world is watching.
